It’s all over for Hong Kong as it has been in the past - a bridge between east and west - a NYC of Asia.

I lived there for 4 years just after the GFC as the transition was slowly continuing to stronger Chinese rule.

My view is nothing new. My gut feeling take away was that China will want to run HK into the ground - as a middle finger to the west - and have the only strong pillars on the region to be Shanghai and Beijing.
